Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Elseneur à Höganäs

Get ready for a fantastic ride from Elsinore (Helsingør) in Denmark over to Höganäs in Sweden! Starting from the iconic port city of Elsinore, home to the UNESCO-listed Kronborg Castle (yep—the real-life inspiration for Hamlet’s castle), you’ll set off on a mostly paved and quiet route northward. This journey is a great mix of relaxing cycle paths (about half the trip!) and tranquil country roads, so you’ll have plenty of space to enjoy the scenery.

You’ll hug the coast and cross the legendary Öresund, so make sure to take in those sea breezes—and possibly take a ferry for the water crossing, since there’s no direct bridge. Once on the Swedish side, the route keeps things mellow, with gentle climbs and smooth descents. Höganäs awaits at the end: a charming seaside town famous for its ceramics and cool Scandi vibes.

In total, it's just under 30 km—a perfect day’s adventure with picturesque coastal views, a little international flavor, and plenty of reasons to stop for photos or a fika along the way.
